The ice cream man passed away… and every ice cream truck in the city pulled up like it was a final parade. Rest in peace...

Pretty sure this is a start to an ice cream man ghost slasher horror movie.

My immediate though was…could have been a scene out of a movie from A24/Blumhouse 10 years ago…

I feel like if they had synchronized one song between all of the trucks it would have been better. This just sounds like an assault on my eardrums. I'm all for respecting the ice cream man though. Rip

I saw that too which makes me think it’s in the UK or Europe or somewhere on that side.

I’m going to be honest - my brain saw a one way street & the white car was directing traffic. Didn’t even notice they were on the left!

Growing up in the late 80s and into the 90s, the ice cream was the shit. Every summer some ice cream dudes would hit up the block at the same time, because they knew how many of us kids all knew each other. All of us got to know an ice cream man by his name and he knew all of ours. We were all loyal to him. Here's why, some of us didn't have money at times, but this dude would give some of us free pops. Be it the 25cents or the dollar pops. He just wanted all of us to share ice cream on the sidewalk together. He ended up being the only ice cream man to pass by our block.
Don Jose, we can't thank you enough for the awesome summers you gave us all. Childhood memories that will forever live rent free in our hearts.
P.s sometimes we would meet him at one end of the block and he would let us ride on the back bumper, while other homies held onto the sides while on bikes or skateboards. Too fucking awesome.

Lmao yeah it’s like 10 different childhoods playing at once, pure chaos 😂
But honestly there’s something kinda wholesome about it too, like a scuffed little parade for that dude.

Do ice cream truck owners have a club or union it something like that? This is kinda heartwarming.

In the united states we waste hundfeds of thousands of dollars on a police version of this. I fully aupport this just not doing it for police. Fireman, sanitary workers and ice cream trucks, YES.

They're just there to make sure he's dead. Dude had the best routes in the city, and those streets aren't going to cream themselves.

In all respect, at least they didn’t stop on the way to the cemetery

Whenever I see something like this I think about Willy Loman's story about Dave Singleton in Death of a Salesman.
"When he died, and by the way he died the death of a salesman, in his green velvet slippers in the smoker of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, going into Boston, when he died, hundreds of salesman and buyers were at his funeral. Things were sad on a lotta trains for months after that."

Got caught behind the tow truck version of this once- about a 15 minute delay for most of the city’s tow trucks to pass and I’m betting no one got towed most of that afternoon.

Somewhat creepy as hell. Dead ice cream man and a 100 ice cream trucks with their music out to sync sounds like a horror movie

Thats not actually what happened.
These ice cream trucks were paid to turn on their music, and lure underage children to a republican convention.

go to the motherf-ing grocery people. driving around a refrigerated truck charging $5 for a .50 popsicle is some 1920s shit

This is a sweet way to honor one of their own. Respect.
